    I think that your game setup tonight was one of the top 10 of all time. I liked the #3 even more than the #5, but both were excellent. Now we just need a run.

    You are in Hong Kong?

    Angels are ridding themselves of Hamilton. I wonder how much cash the Angels will end up paying and how Hamilton might repay the Angels when they play the Rangers.

    Today's game thread was especially uplifting. Thanks, Brian. I wish I knew which stock you are talking about in #5 -- it sounds like something that I might want to look at.

    I have hit my limit on likes for the day, but this was a very good report.

    I am sorry to hear that my friend, and will drink in his honor when i eventually get home.

    Thanks, Seth. I have missed these reports and am grateful for the hard work and the expert analysis.

    Great post John. It covered a lot more than baseball.

    Nice link. Thanks for sharing it.

    I am loving this series.

    Moderator note - let's remember that debate can turn into squabbling when it becomes too personal. I think that it would be a good time to drop the LaRoche debate or at least make a greater effort to acknowledge that both sides have valid positions.

    Someone should write a book on the history of baseball in the Twin Cities.

    For those of us who have fond memories of Tovar: http://www.startribune.com/sports/96934744.html A few excerpts: "As the starting Twins pitcher, he faced four batters, getting Bert Campaneris and Sal Bando on pop fouls, walking Danny Carter, and striking out Reggie Jackson on a screwball. Campaneris is the other major leaguer who has played all nine positions. Tovar delighted the crowd of 11,340 with double and triple pumps. His fancy motion cost him a balk call with a man on base, but his earned run average of 0.00 is the lowest in Twins history." "Tovar was equally outstanding offensively, where he had a single, scored the Twins' first run and stole his 33rd base, a team record." BTW, the Twins won the game 2 to 1 and rewarded Tovar with a color TV.

    Seth, is there anything that we can do to try to influence this?
  15. glunn
    Who votes on the Twins HOF? Maybe we could influence them for next year?

    I think that they are both deserving. But could Mack play all 9 positions in one game? Mack is deserving, but Tovar was almost magical in that one game. I will start a petition for Mack if you will start one for Tovar. The Tovar fans are dying off and it would brighten our lives if Tovar made it.

    With season ticket sales down, it seems to me that not honoring Tovar is a huge mistake. Tovar is one of my all-time favorite players and I think that he should be honored before more of his fans get too old (or dead) to celebrate his contributions, including playing all 9 positions in one game.

    Thanks for posting this, Secondary User. I hope that we see a lot more from you as time passes.

    Anyone who is not reading RB's game thread introductions is missing one of the best parts of TD. No matter how badly the Twins are playing and how miserable your day might be, RB always provides something to smile about, along with occasional pearls of wisdom.

    Moderator note -- finally Ryan does something that calms the waters.

    Here is an article by someone who seems independent. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseball/24860239/torii-hunter-follows-heart-back-to-minnesota-agrees-to-one-year-deal-with-twins The conclusion resonates with what some of us seem to be thinking: "But the signing isn't about on-field value. This is about Hunter being happy and about the Twins bringing back a fan favorite for what is likely the final stage of his career. And you know what? That is pretty darn cool. It doesn't happen often enough in this ultra-competitive era of MLB."

    Moderator note -- we are allowing some leeway here, but please keep it civil.

    I am putting four of these in the mail today and am going to get my wife to sign one tonight. If you are participating, please feel free to post about it here. Also, anyone who can get five of these in the mail before the deadline will qualify as a "TD Member of the Month". I am not sure what that means, but it must be good.

    Tony O. deserves this. I am going to print out several of these postcards, add the postage and get friends to sign them.
